Catmosphere Laguna, Orange County’s first Cat Café, has opened in Laguna Beach. Founded by Gail Allyn Landau, Catmosphere Laguna will serve as both a community café and a foster home for adoptable cats & kittens. Originating in Taiwan in 1998, cat cafés have since become a global phenomenon, inspiring similar business models to open across Japan, London, and most recently, the U.S. As the county’s first cat café, Landau believes Catmosphere Laguna will bring an increase in feline adoptions and provide improved lives and futures for kitties awaiting their “furr-ever” homes.

Catmosphere Laguna has partnered with the Laguna Woods Cat Club, Laguna Beach Animal Shelter, Bluebell Foundation for Cats, and local feline rescues to serve as a foster home for healthy cats & kittens with the goal of placing them in their forever homes. While awaiting adoption, Catmosphere Laguna provides a sanctuary for felines, giving them the freedom to roam, play, and interact with cat-lovers in an environment that feels like home.

Laguna Beach has long been known and loved for its artistic community and embrace of nature, in all its forms. Catmosphere Laguna is a Café with a twist. The adjacent Lounge is a comfortable and quiet place for cuddling, playing, and getting to know adoptable cats and kittens from local shelters.

This environment transitions these homeless cats and kittens to a safe environment before they enter their forever human homes. These felines are certified healthy and arrive with big personalities! 100% of the proceeds from adoptions go directly to the care, treatment, and welfare of othe cats and kittens. Local Laguna Beach veterinarians can provide for medical care and spaying/neutering. Loving and safe forever homes and happy, healthy cats and kittens is Catmosphere Laguna’s Mission.

The menu will include toasts, sides, and salads, in addition to fresh juices, teas, beer & wine, and coffee.
